I'm over from Shutter Sisters - thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm 40 and "just getting started" after years of being sure I could never be good enough, so why try? Turning 40 did it for me. No more waiting. I'm having a ball. Here's my quote:

p.s. i have been putting together a little "Photographer's Map" for your trip to Oregon. I have a list of favored locations along the coast that photographers see as prime shooting spots.
